09' higher than 08'
ok, so today i parked next to a bone stock 08' 2is.. mine is an 09' also stock, but mines was at least a 1/2 inch higher!! anyone know why this is?? now this means i gotta get coils to achieve the drop i want.. :sad:

maybe there was a 50lb bag of rice inside the trunk of the other car? you never know..lol
|
hahaha ... were you parked outside costco or walmart?
|
you sure it was stock? maybe it had stock sport springs which are like 10mm lower or maybe it had something heavy in the trunk.

Maybe the car wasn't "stock" at all... |
was the ground level?
|
Those with the sport package will have the sport suspension, thus is a lower ride
|
ALSO~ it coulda had more gas in the tank than you :p what is it? 1kg for every liter?
|
The 08 car may using lower spring and shock.

Like other people said, there's a lot of factors that may give the illusion his car is lower. Stuff in his car/trunk or maybe the ground is not straight. My driveway isn't the flattest, depending on where I park, sometimes my right side is lower, or my rear is lower. I do know though that my cousin's stock '08 IS350 is definately a lot higher than my '09 IS350 that sits on F-Sport springs.

I've read somewhere that the Sport package version has about 1/2 inch drop in the front. Not sure about the back.

I disagree, I do really believe with the suspension changes to 09' the cars all sit a little higher. They also ride different (softer) than the prior models.. Ive spent many hours at dealerships comparing 08's and 09's and the 09' sits about 1/2 inch higher than 08's. (even without sport package)
